A printer’s block showing Otford Palace Tower from the South-West.
The Trust has been given a printer’s block of an etching of the Palace Tower seen from the south west. The block was found by Assistant Parish Clerk Sue Stephenson whilst clearing out some old boxes. The block is undated but it is believed to be an ‘electro block’ probably made in the 1960s. The date of the drawing from which it was made may be older because the depiction of the state of repair of the walls is from about 1900 CE.
